Morocco: a banker takes off with his clients’ money

The police arrested an employee of a city bank in Dakhla, accused of having embezzled more than a million dirhams from the accounts of certain clients.

The affair was revealed after the disappearance of 1.20 million dirhams from the bank branch’s coffers, noted by an audit mission dispatched a few weeks ago by the bank’s general management. This control follows complaints from customers who reported abnormal withdrawals from their bank accounts, reports Rue20.
